So, i watched Taxi Driver recently and it made me wonder about what was the city really like back then. I know a bit, like the economy was bad and the crime rates where huge. But i want to really know more about this subject besides Wikipedia pages.

Is there any book or doc. that talk about how were things there in this period of time, like, explaining about social movements, how was the economy and such things.

PS: English is not my main tongue, sorry if i didn't made much sense or wrote anything wrong.
